My dad is amazing. Yesterday he rode his bike in the STP (Seattle to Portland) which is 204 miles! He also rode in it last year which was a great accomplishment but this year it meant even more because a few weeks ago he was diagnosed with testicular cancer. It's incredible that he could ride 204 miles in 11 hours! I am so proud of him! I wish I could be as strong as him when it comes to trials. He is such a great example to me because he never gives up. I know he is going to be strong and persevere so he can fight this cancer!

- Lance Armstrong

get me outta here.

IT'S THE LAST WEEK OF CLASSES! 12 more days until i'm out of Rexburg for good. Thank goodness.

staying's worse than leaving.

There are definitely some things that I will miss about living in Rexburg, like the friendships I have made, but there are a lot more things that i'm not going to miss. As I come to the end of my last semester at BYU-I I look back and am very happy with my decision to come here and for the experience I had. If I never came I would of always wondered "what if" but now I know that my decision to leave is the best decision for me at this time in my life. I've made so many new friends and met some amazing people that I am going to miss so much but I have faith in my choice. I will never take for granted the time i'm going to be spending with my family now after being away. I miss my Mom comforting me when things get hard. Texting just doesn't do it justice. I miss the dumb dance my Dad always does to try and get us to laugh. Even though I never laugh anymore it still is secretly funny. I miss little Lexi and the crazy things she says and i miss how she kills me on mario cart and penguin slide on Wii Fit. I miss Britney! I miss dying laughing at things that I can't even think of right now because there are too many! Britney is my best friend and it's so hard that she lives in Texas now but I know she is happy and that's all that matters! I miss my extended family! All my little cousins and the funny things they do and say. I miss all the birthday parties, holidays, and camping trips. I am so happy I have so many memories with my extended family and that we are so close. Listing all these things I miss makes me want to go home right now. 4 more weeks. Then I never have to leave again.

dad. dad. dad.

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!! One of the great things about college is you learn to appreciate your parents A LOT more than when you live at home. I am so grateful for my dad and for all his hard work to support our family! I can't even imagine what it would be like to not have a dad around. Thanks for everything you have done for me in my life dad! I love you!

puppy love.

moms are the best!

I am so grateful for everything my mom does for me! I could not ask for a better mom. I know I can tell my mom anything and she have always supported me in everything in my life. Happy Mothers Day Mom! I love you!

no trust to give you.

I'm so tired of all this backstabbing. You consider yourself my friend? Hmm. Interesting. I feel like I'm back in middle school with all you're childish games. I don't want to be a part of them anymore. I can't believe I was being backstabbed for 3 months without even suspecting anything, man you're good.

tunes on tuesday.

I'm in love with this song right now.
Don't You Wanna Stay- Jason Aldean feat. Kelly Clarkson

Happy birthday to me, happy birthday to me, happy birthday to me!

As I enter the last year of my teens I reflect back to everything I have accomplished in the past year. I graduated from high school as well as community college with my associate of arts degree. I have also completed two semesters at BYU Idaho. Not to mention that I paid for all my tuition and housing all on my own! I am soon entering my last semester at BYU-I and I can hardly wait! I have made so many great friendships and memories that I am so grateful for. I am very proud of everything that has happened this year. There have been some hard times, lost friendships, homesickness, but I don't regret anything and I have learned a lot. Time is flying by and I'm growing up, but I wouldn't change a thing!

good night.

Who said studying in a library was better? I've been at the library for 4 hours studying and I've come to the conclusion that libraries make me fall asleep.
